Sun City Huntley Homes & Real Estate

Sun City Huntley began construction in 1999 and the community was completed in 2013 with 5,489 homes. Since Del Webb began building, they have offered nearly 55 different floor plans in a variety of housing styles that include single-family homes, attached ranch townhomes and condos. There are 37 different single-family home models in Sun City Huntley that range from 1,130 square feet all the way to over 3,000 square feet. All homes feature a minimum of two bedrooms, two baths and a two-car garage but larger models include three or more bedrooms, additional bathrooms and three car garages.

Included features of the single-family homes vary from very basic features such as laminate countertops and vinyl flooring all the way to highly upgraded units that include tile or wood flooring, hard surface countertops, gourmet appliances and spa-like master bathrooms. Basements are available as options in this community but most homes are built on slabs. Premium homesites with views of Whisper Creek Golf Course or open space are available. For homebuyers who want the ultimate in maintenance-free living, there are a variety of attached ranch style townhomes available. The monthly association fee for townhome residents includes full lawn care, snow removal and exterior maintenance of the unit. Several townhome products have been constructed since 1999 including clovers, villas and triplexes. In all, townhome buyers can select from 13 different floor plans that range from 1,014 to 1,599 square feet. The smallest plans include one bedroom and the larger plans include two bedrooms plus a den.

For homebuyers who want the look and feel of a single-family home at a price that is more comparable to a townhome, the Clubhomes present a unique option. Clubhomes are detached duplexes that are attached at their foundations underground but there is no common wall above ground, so the unit is virtually a single-family home. For association fee purposes, Clubhome owners pay an association fee equivalent to a single-family home, which means that they are responsible for the exterior maintenance of the unit as well as lawn care and snow removal. However, lawn and snow services are available for residents who do not wish to do their own maintenance. There are three Clubhome floor plans that range from 1,197 to 1,551 square feet. The Arcadia Condominium building is the ideal place for residents who prefer condo-style living with an elevator and underground parking. This four-story building is the only condo building in Sun City and includes five different floor plan options. It is located immediately adjacent to the Meadow View Lodge and outdoor pool.

Clubhomes/Manors

Price Range: Mid $100s - Low $200s

The popular Clubhomes in Sun City Huntley are commonly referred to as "detached duplexes". These homes offer the look and feel of a single-family home but are priced more like a duplex. The unique design includes attached foundation footings underground but above ground there is six feet of space between the homes and there is no common wall. With options like front porches, brick facades and smaller homesites the Clubhome neighborhoods feel like small town America. In the final phase, Pulte/Del Webb changed the name of this model collection to Manors. The model names changed from York, James and Potomac to Haven, Journey and Serenity, respectively. The main changes were that they no longer attached the footings and offered more space between homes but the floor plans remained virtually the same. All Clubhomes and Manors are built on slabs.

Best decision we ever made, we feel like we live at a resort. We like the size of our community that offers so much to do: golf course, softball, Bocce, Bags, pickleball, tennis, indoor/outdoor concerts, plays, day trips, indoor pool, 2 outdoor pools, 2 fitness center with many classes, indoor walking track, massage spa, golf cart community, holiday parties, dances, cards, and the goes on. But most of all, the friendly neighbors that our community has. “Living the Dream”Sun City Huntley is conveniently located near I-90 for easy access to O’Hare & Chicago.

Sun City Huntley is an incredible community for active adults. If you have not seen the main clubhouse, you have got to check it out. Indoor and outdoor pools, a 30 person hot tub, indoor walking track, fitness center, rooms for art, ceramics, sewing, and cards, a restaurant, sports, pub, 18-hole golf course, tennis, bocce, fishing, biking, woodworking, and the list goes on.

The only thing better than all the activities in Sun City Huntley are the residents. Everyone is so kind, caring, and friendly. They welcome new neighbors with open arms and cookies! This is the BEST place to live! It's like living in a resort all year.

This is the best active adult community in Illinois. So much to do here. I've met so many great people at the clubhouse and the restaurant. The golf course is my favorite in the northwest suburbs and the model train area in the woodshop barn is a sight to see!

Sun City is the best 55+ community in the Chicago area. The homes and amenities are great and the lifestyle is second to none. There is always something fun and exciting happening everyday. The only regret you might have if you move here is that you will wish you would have done it sooner!

My wife and I moved to Sun City Huntley from the Wrigleyville area in Chicago. I must say we've made more friends here and know more people than in the twenty-five years we lived in our old neighborhood. The community is organized around neighborhoods which makes it very easy to meet new people. There are also many organized activities available - sports, hobbies, trips, plays, shows, and many special interest groups - which can serve to widen your circle of friends and acquaintances. What I enjoy most, though, is simply living in a beautiful, safe and stable community surrounded by decent, hard-working people - our peers - many of whom we have come to know and care for deeply. It was a great choice for us.

I enjoyed living here at first, but I have trouble meeting people my age,I'm way older and am not at alphysically fit. The people I have met won't put up with my endless chatter and constant complaints. but that's my main interest. I'm close to 80 years old and still dye my hair a flaming red color, maybe I am scaring people

We moved from Springfield, IL where Darlene lived her entire life. We were reluctant to make the move even though we have kids and grand kids in the area. We came to look and bought that very day.

We have not regretted it for a minute and love it here more than we could ever imagine. We have more fun and friends than a lifetime in Springfield. We can be as busy (or not) as we want to be. Darlene is involved in the Tennis Club and the Huntley Hoofers Tap Dance class which are both new endeavors. Darlene is also a caregiver to Jerry and the support of neighbors and friends are unbelievable. She also attends the Sun City Caregiver's Support Group.

My wife and I decided to move to Sun City Huntley in 2007 after nearly a decade of deliberation. I can honestly say that waiting all of those years to make a decision is the biggest regret of my adult life.

Sun City Huntley has been an absolute blessing for my wife and I. My wife has become far more active in the social scene than we have ever anticipated. She is a regular participant at water aerobics, quilting, and even volunteers at the local schools throughout the community. I enjoy living a lower profile life, tooling around occasionally at the fantastic woodshop on site.

The biggest surprise when moving here was how friendly all of our neighbors were. We bought a new construction home and found that nearly everyone around us was in the same boat as us. Moving in at the same time was also nice. There is a nice mix of singles and couples and while all age groups are represented, the overall vibe was much younger than I anticipated. Unlike me, many of my neighbors still work full time jobs.

Not everything has been perfect. If we could choose a home again, we probably would have picked a floor plan with one more bedroom and additional storage space. We also had a construction delay when moving in and had to wait a few months before we had grass. However, overall the Deb Webb staff was accommodating and put us at ease. They even came to our home several times after moving in to make small repairs. All things considered moving here was a wonderful decision.
